Terms and Definitions

1. Matter- Anything that takes up space and has mass. Can be divided into mixtures and pure substances.
2. Mixture- Matter that is not the same throughout. There are two types: Homogeneous and heterogeneous
3. Homogeneous Mixtures- Mixtures that have only one phase.
4. Heterogeneous Mixtures- Mixtures that have more than one phase.
5. Phase-A part of the substance with unique chemical properties.
6. Pure substance - Matter with constant composition. Can be divided into compounds or elements.
7. Element- Substance made up of only one type of atom.
8. Compound- Two or more atoms that are chemically combined.
9. Substance-Matter that is the same throughout, with constant composition.
10. Mixture- Two or more substances that are physically combined.
11. Solutions - A type of homogeneous mixture where the parts are physically combined. The solvent of the solution dissolves the solute.
